This barn is getting torn down this Tuesday - 4-24-07! It's on County X, just southwest of Clinton - intersection known as "Clinton Corners" I think.

To become a chartered structural engineer with the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE), you have to meet certain criteria and demonstrate them during an interview, if you successfully demonstrate these qualities to the necessary level at the interview then you're granted the pleasurable task of completing a 7 hour exam.
The exam typically has a 60% failure rate, but for those that complete the exam they can use the title Chartered Structural Engineer and get the additional letters MIStructE after their name and the opportunity to also become a member of the engineering council and use the letters CEng too.
I've been an interviewer for the IStructE for the past 5 years or so and I found it very enjoyable. Just recently I've completed the training scripts to also become an examiner. The candidates have recently sat their exams and the scripts are ready for marking, but before they're issued to the examiners, all of the examiners must visit HQ for a review session to meet their co-markers to ensure that each question is marked consistently.
I really enjoyed the day despite an 85 minute delay on the train to London, I got to meet lots of new people plus catch up with engineers I've not seen for some years. Including the director from Arup who I did my final year project with that I've not seen for 16 years.
I also got to have a mooch around the Institution's library where I think I could have quite happily have spent a week or so as they've some great reference texts in there.
I grabbed this quick shot as I was heading out of the door to the train station to come back home. I've had to edit out a couple of lamp posts out of the frame to get this view but I don't think it's that obvious.
Structural steel for the Integrated Sciences Complex arrived on Wednesday, December 21, and the steelworkers have been busy erecting two stories of columns and beams on the north wing. The university community will see the ISC take shape as steel continues to go up and metal decks, concrete slabs and fireproofing are installed through the spring.

Founded in half 13th Century by king Venceslaus I., this castle was very soon abandoned, archaeological research shows the end at latest to the year 1306 (but it is first mentioned as abandoned in 1569). It was abandoned because of structural integrity issues of the main walls, one part of the castle began to disintegrate. The whole complex was atypically long and thin due to the used area, it was very modern with hot air heating. The ruin was ignored for many centuries, systematic research and conservation was done some ten years ago.
This is a series of large iron castings which are part of the support structure on a mezzanine floor at the Islington Business Centre, London. The far one is about 100m away and there is a coffee kiosk half way along!
A lot of the windows of the old flour mill have had to be reinforced with structual steel beems to keep the old stone wall from falling down.

University College is one of the oldest foundations in Oxford, but structurally what we see today dates mainly from the 17th and 18th centuries onwards. The chapel occupies the eastern half of the south wing of the main quadrangle (opposite the College's main entrance from High Street). It was heavily restored and Gothicised in 1862, but still retains its original 17th century woodwork, and more importantly a very fine glazing scheme of the same date.
The windows (aside from the two Victorian ones in the chancel) are the work of German artist Abraham van Linge and form a complete set dating from 1641, with six Old Testament subjects on both sides (plus two from the New Testament in the antechapel). All are executed mostly in enamel (as were most stained glass windows at this time) which is painted on rectangular panes of clear glass like a canvas, although a limited use of actual coloured glass ('pot metal') still features here for certain elements (for example more vividly coloured parts of drapery). Some of the most attractive features are the rich backgrounds with lush landscape and city-scapes often filling as much of the space as the figures illustrating the narrative. Glass of this unusually tolerant era in the Post Reformation is very rare outside of Oxford, and the windows here represent this phase of the medium at its finest.
University College isn't open as often as some Oxford colleges (it took me several visits before I finally managed to gain entry) and an entry fee and tour are required, but I had my own personal guide (one of the students) who was very knowledgeable and kindly left me to enjoy the chapel for as long as I wanted at the end.
